Can anyone else confirm this (If so the Full TDC is broken).

If this is the case it there any workarond for geting the values for Straight run and the Torp Impact to my created dials?

these are settings for the FaT-aale.
availability starts in 1943, so there's no need for them in SH5

Umm, so they are not moddeled in SH5. Darn, guess I'm gonna have to redo my Panels as I've included 2 of them.

If there not available till 1945, does that mean we can not support them if expansions are brough out or custom campaigns are created past this time.

Strange why they removed them from working in the backgroung though.

no, you got me wrong.
they are available from March/April 1943 on.
FatI (steam)
FatII (electric)
this is why I meant there's no need for them in SH5 when it is ending in May/June 1943 (?).

Sorry read your post wrong. Hmm not do I keep them in or remove them.
Still don't know if there actually updating though.
Maybe I can set up a single mission after that date to get the pattern running T IIIa FaT II torpedo and test to see if they work.

As it stands now if have the the stock dials set up to appear onscreen from with in Editor:

But they don't appear on screen, surely they should have non updating dials displayed (Like my created ones show up - just don't update).

Or are they hardcoded to only show up when the U-boat is carrying the correct loadout

Guess its time for some testing.

Ok did some testing by using the amunition.upc mod to enable all torpedo types.
Loaded up some fatII torps and tried the TDC still was no dials in the Mod. so went back to default TDC and noticed the Fat/Lut button over each torpedo selector.
When clicked it brought up the Fat/Lut dials

.
Tried the Dials with the following results:

1. Straight Run, was able to set dial to any value between 0m and 2500m
2. 2nd Gyroangle, could onle select -90 or +90 degrees ?
3. Leg, could only select 800 or 1600 ?
4. Pattern angle, was unable to select a value (Couldn't move needle)

Should all value be selectable on the dial?
